In addition to this, the writings of West Javanese or Sundanis were also associated with The Kakarakan as the Javanese script for writing the Sundanese language at that time | this script was used earlier after the VOC ultimatum came out | until now, the Kakarkan script has been in use for more than 300 years and continues to do so today|
The Pegan Sundanese alphabet is also the script used to write the ancient Sundanese language| The text of the Pegan alphabet contains standard Arabic characters and new designs| Although some standards consist of Arabic letters, the Arabs cannot understand them if they do not master the Sundanese language|
